m-of-connor Posted March 9, 2020 #226 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I just bought 150 shares @ 21.74. I have another 50 waiting at a little lower. I have been wanting to buy this stock for over 10 years. I was too afraid at that time and I have always regretted not buying then. I told myself if it ever dropped I would buy some and this was the day. I am so glad that I had issues with the first site I tried to use, this was on Friday, I would have been happy at 26. I opened up a ameritrade account today and very pleased with the layout and glad it was at 21.74. Know to figure out how to get it applied to my next cruise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market always goes up long term - but that is longer than 1 year. Let’s see where this ends up in 5/10/15 years when we survive this fiasco.

coevan Posted March 9, 2020 #234 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I sold my entire portfolio and would not touch the market until this virus is declining. I'll take 1.6 % over the crap shoot stock market at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surly not sorry, this action saved our bacon. We had 50% in the market and 50% in financial institutions. The IRA funds stay in the IRA as a money market. This virus and the stock market losses are far from over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're in this for the wrong reasons. I have a lot of money tied up in the market in one way or another - these dips do hurt, but long term it comes out in the wash. It always does. The key is to train yourself into thinking long term as 10, 15 years. If you're thinking of shorter term trading - don't gamble with more than you can stand to lose.

Lee Cruiser Posted March 10, 2020 #238 Share Posted March 10, 2020 7 hours ago, n6uqqq said: Is the next thread going to be " Carnival stock dips below 20? " NCL closed at $19.81 today. It has dropped over $40 since January. In January, many thought that was unthinkable. Carnival may dropped below $20 later this week, if not tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can lose with any of the prices the last couple of weeks as carnival is no going "belly up". This will pass and the cruise lines will learn how to be better prepared for the next big one from this. People are still passionate about cruising and the ships are still being built. All good signs for the long term of any investment in the cruise lines . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
